Rumor: All Purpose Trade Proposals, Speculation and Rumours - 2023/24

[fmrdh]

Brannstrom and Kylington are LHD

I think we should be looking at a young-ish RHD

Boqvist was bought out by CBJ and hasn't signed anywhere yet. He hasn't been able to stay healthy but he has talent and is a good skater.

 

[snowkiddin]

Same here.

You signed with the Avs?! Congratulations!

I've never heard of the site, but throwing it out there just to see what people think of the idea:

NHL Trade Rumors: Sabres and Jets Discussing Major Trade Involving Tuch, Ehlers, and Iafallo

Rumors swirl as the Buffalo Sabres and Winnipeg Jets discuss a major trade involving Alex Tuch, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Alex Iafallo.

Garbage site. Guy just makes stuff up. Calls it rumours but never has any sources.

Not that it's my money, but think concerned with term less and less. GMs find a way to move On from the players if they really want to and it also may not even be their problem later down the road

True - but it has cost the Jets 5 mil in dead cap space this year from Schmidt and Wheeler.

Thats a giant pile of meh...

Tarasenko will sit out until deadline imo - save cap space for Florida

Maybe Sprong but there has to be a backstory with him

Probably signs with whomever is in the playoffs and abusing the LTIR the most, at that time.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Yup - I know that Pionk struggled last year (especially after he got hurt and what happened with his friend), but talks of buyout is lunacy for a team that performed so well defensively last year and the fact that we are critically thin on RHD.

Let's hope that Pionk has a renaissance year and then we can go from there.

I hope Pionk does not have another contract year renaissance. Much as I might like a season of good play from him, that will only get him extended for too much, too long and we will be back to garbage Pionk for x years.

It’s not like players under contract never get traded. He’s still behind Stutzle and Norris.

That said, I still think Columbus is where McG ends up. With Monahan, Jenner, Fantilli, Sillinger, Johnson and Lindstrom all as natural centres in the Organization, something’s gotta give.

If It’s in a bigger package with Ehlers involved then you can maybe pry a good young defenseman from them.

CBJ is my dream scenario right now. I can come up with several different packages from them for Ehlers + McGroarty that appear to me to make sense from both sides.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I don't see our special teams getting much better with very little changes. Dallas didn't really lose anyone significant and I still think they end up top of the division. Colorado has oodles of offence but still some big holes.

I think the hope is that our ST troubles were more about systems than personnel.

They don't need to improve to top of the league to make a difference. League avg would do a lot.

 

[WolfHouse]

I was just thinking about that - I don't think any of the final four overtly abused LTIR this year...?

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

But did he say he was disrespected?

Maybe he was feeling hurt - but you aren't going to say that as an athlete.

I think what he expressed was disappointment, which is how you put it when your pride is hurt. Call it feeling underappreciated instead of disrespected.

 

[Jet]

You just said you were posting a chart to show us that Pionk has been 'good' - all the stats Ive seen indicate that the Can division season was an anomaly in his career rather than the norm


It is worrisome to hear connected guys like Wiebe say they wouldn't be surprised to see a Pionk extension

Haha no, sorry i meant to say someone was going to counter me with a chart.

Haha ok so now we're cheering against our players so we can cheap out on them

Chevy is pretty smart. He rarely pays off small sample sizes so if Pionk is lights out next year and asks for too much Chevy will let him walk and everyone will be happy, right?

Right, which was my point.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Is Brannstrom or Kylington worth a look? Or are they in bust country.

I certainly wouldn't mind taking a look at Kylington. Not sure if injuries have affected his play or not. But a low cost contract that could be buried in the AHL if he doesn't work out would be a small risk to take.

Sprong has put up some nice numbers the last couple of years. Would be a big upgrade on Appleton. Younger than Appleton too.

Nic Petan and Sam Gagner are still out there too.
Not to forget Chase DeLeo as well.
C'Mon Chevy, get her done.

Yeah there's definitely negative consequences. I just don't think gm's care that much anymore bc it may not be their problem by the time years 6 or 7 kicks in, and they would rather have the player than not during their tenure. Like Stephenson for example it may have taken the 7th year to get the deal done. The Seattle GM probably cares more about having him than the 7th year bc what are the chances the Seattle GM is still the same person when that kicks in

Not so we can cheap out on him. So we can wish him well in his future endeavors.

I hope he plays out his contract and is replaced by Salomonsson the next year.

Chevy paid off big on Pionk's one good year before. If Pionk has a good year, Chevy will give him a raise and 5 years.

Right, which was my point.

Which I was in agreement with. Just provided ways he might express it without saying he had his tender feelings hurt.

After watching Neal Pionk's fumble around for 4 out of the last 5 years, if Chevy gets fooled into re-signing him for any price, we have way bigger problems than Neal Pionk.

I don't think it's fair to compare these situations. Pionk was 24 when he signed his last deal, and had leverage due to his remaining RFA years. He still showed promise.

This time around Chevy knows what he is getting, and he also knows that there's likely not a lot of development left for Pionk.

Chevy is also 4 years more experienced.

Lets trade McGro for Eyssimont

 

[gojetsgo]

anyone have the numbers for a vilardi extension?

 

[thejaf7]

Did they sign Laine today or tomorrow?
